All~
I feel like people have lost track of one of the initial arguments for
having C< .method == $?SELF.method >. Currently, all of

Advertising

$.foo
@.foo
%.foo
and their ilk operate on the current invocant, $?SELF. This leads
naturally toward &.foo also refering to $?SELF. But as we all know
the & is optional on function calls...
This symmetry and regularity seems like a powerful thing to me and I
would not want to lose it...
